All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai,
therefore each individual item are slightly different each other.
*Kinsai* (gold decoration) is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by a multi-stage process: first, underglaze blue patterns are applied and fired at 1,300°C; next, traditional Arita overglaze enamels (red, green, blue, yellow, etc.) are painted on and fired at 800°C; finally, gold accents are added to create intricate patterns. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, a single finished work may undergo five to ten separate firings. The result is a magnificent, dignified style that combines dazzling gold decoration with inventive color schemes and layouts.
*Yūrikō* (underglaze red) is a technique that uses copper-based pigments for underglaze painting; by manipulating oxidation and reduction processes during firing, a crimson hue is produced beneath a transparent glaze. While the origins of *yūrikō* date back to the late Yuan Dynasty in China (14th century), in the realm of Hizen porcelain, it was produced during the Early Imari period (1610–1650). However, the technique subsequently fell into decline due to the difficulty of the firing process and the instability of the resulting colors. If the firing temperature rises too high, the red fails to develop, leaving the piece stark white; conversely, firing in an oxidizing atmosphere turns the color green. The outcome is highly sensitive to the nature of the flames, and even slight temperature fluctuations can result in completely different colors. Achieving consistent results is notoriously difficult—so much so that there have been countless instances where more than two-thirds of the pieces had to be discarded upon removal from the kiln.
Peacock
With their exceptionally beautiful plumage, peacocks have long been cherished as symbols of Paradise. Although not native to Japan, the peacock became widely known through artistic motifs imported from China and elsewhere; its elegant, majestic appearance has inspired designs in countless paintings and craft objects, including treasures housed in the Shosoin Repository. The peacock exudes a magnificent, dazzling radiance that captivates all who behold it. Peony
With its magnificent, large blossoms and noble bearing, the peony has long been known in China as the "King of Flowers" and revered as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. In Japan, too, the peony's breathtaking beauty has inspired its use in a wide array of designs, from paintings to traditional crafts. It is considered an auspicious motif that embodies a sense of elegant gentleness amidst its splendor.
